6/24/2016 0 Comments BrexitTo say the least, it is an eventful time to be in London. In what is perhaps the most historic day in England's recent history, the country has voted to leave the European Union with 51.9% of the vote. Shortly following the decision, David Cameron (UK Prime Minister) announced his resignation. Meanwhile, the pound is sinking, making everything a bit less expensive as an American student. Crazy news to wake up to on my first full day in England, and it certainly came as a surprise considering the polls leading up to vote. No one in the city seems pleased with the result, but while London overwhelmingly voted to remain, England's vast rural communities ultimately chose to leave. So far, tensions do not seem bad in the city, but it definitely provided interesting conversation earlier today in orientation. It is a fascinating time to be studying journalism in London.
